The new president-elect of the United States is very much an unknown to many of us. It almost seems he appeared out of nowhere to claim the most powerful position in the world.
Over the next few years we will get to know him much better and find out what kind of a president he does make. Until then you may be interested to know more about the man and the things he likes and.... more »

Now I love ice-cream, as do most people who do not have an allergy to dairy products. My favourite ice-cream is Connoisseur Vanilla. It is so rich and creamy, you can literally taste the calories as they melt in your mouth.
It appears that like us here in Perth (and the rest of Australia), the Japanese are great lovers of ice-cream as well. They actually held an ice-cream festival in.... more »
